We're incredibly excited to announce our merger with Talenthub, a fellow Candidate Experience Analytics platform. Our shared goal is to create the global industry leader, democratize candidate-centric solutions and make the experience hiring and getting hired more enjoyable.
We believe that a larger organization will allow us to provide a wider array of services with more depth, and will clearly position the new company as a global leader in Candidate Experience.
In many ways, Starred and Talenthub are a natural fit. We’re both committed to the same goals, we share a similar culture, and our teams and visions are highly complementary. Talenthub has continuously impressed us over the years, and we’re confident that our merger will help us revolutionize both Candidate Experience and recruitment in the coming years. By combining our strengths we believe that we can defy the odds and make 1 + 1 = 5.
We firmly believe that together we can surpass the sum of our parts and create a company that not only provides the best Candidate Experience solutions possible to our clients, but also continues to establish candidate-centric recruitment as the norm for companies and candidates alike. In our long-term vision, Starred and Talenthub are both equal halves of the winning puzzle.
"Our teams, products, and visions are highly complementary. Merging allows us to bring the best of both worlds to the table, strengthen our existing offerings, and pursue our shared vision of candidate-centric recruitment."
Talenthub was established in 2017 by Daniel Birkholm, as a spin-off of Denmark's biggest recruitment marketing agency. From the beginning, Talenthub’s mission has been to create the world’s best recruitment hub and improve the hiring experience for both candidates and companies.
Today, Talenthub is a leading platform for candidate-centric recruitment, offering a suite of products that help candidates land their dream job, as well as providing advanced Candidate Experience analytics and insights for companies who aim to attract the world’s best talent.
Talenthub has grown to become a recognized platform with a global footprint, serving customers such as JustEat Takeaway, JYSK, Unity, Volvo, Pandora and many more. They continue to ensure candidates are always met with the best possible Candidate Experience, all the while equipping companies with the necessary insights to make data-driven decisions within their recruitment strategy.

We are merging because we believe that, together, we can accelerate the journey towards making candidate centricity the norm in recruitment.
By joining forces, we can combine our strengths, know-how and industry insights to expand our product offerings and help even more companies gain access to actionable data that will take their Candidate Experience to the next level.
This merger allows us to build the strongest Candidate Experience Analytics Platform on the market. Our datasets will double and our customers will have access to the world’s richest benchmark data. This empowers us to increase the depth of the insights that we provide to our customers, allowing them to hire even more efficiently. Additionally, pooling our resources lets us further accelerate development of new candidate-centric solutions.
As excited as we are to continue developing together and soon provide you with many new services and areas of expertise, you will have uninterrupted access to Starred as you know it, until we are ready to introduce our joint solution.
For now, we’re keeping both brands. Of course, we’ll keep you updated in the future if anything changes.
Although we are remaining as separate brands for the time being, the eventual long-term goal is to merge our product offerings.
Being the truly global company that we are, we will continue operations from our respective offices in Amsterdam and Copenhagen.
